Kuwait: Release of 20 Individuals Accused of Concealing the Abdali Cell

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior released today the individuals convicted in the case of concealing the Abdali cell, with a large number of their relatives present outside the central prison to welcome them. The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas learned that the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Criminal Execution Department, released 20 individuals included in the amnesty decree. A responsible security source informed Al-Qabas that there remains only one convicted individual from this case who is still in the central prison and is sentenced to life imprisonment. This comes as the official newspaper "Kuwait Today" published two amiri decrees related to amnesty and the reduction of prison sentences for certain individuals, listing a total of 35 names.
